"ONE PIECE: THE MOVIE is coming! The kingdom of Alabasta is about to erupt into a civil war engineered by the criminal outfit known as Baroque Works. Can Luffy and his crew stop it from happening? More details in next month's issue!"
 
Ultimo was... interesting. Nothing too impressive, but it could go somewhere. But I'm still frustrated by the slow pace that One Piece and Bo-bobo are moving... I kinda hope that after Yu Yu Hakusho enRAB they don't replace it with anything, and just beef up the length of (NON-NARUTO) series.

And the Yu-Gi-Oh promo disappointed me. After all that talk about Synchro carRAB, I want one, even though I haven't played with Yu-Gi-Oh carRAB in years.
 
Viz,FUNimation,and 4KiRAB have officially screwed my thoughts on Ace's name.In the original,it's Portgas D. Ace-In 4KiRAB version,it's Portgaz D. Trace.In the FUNi version,its changed agian(but very minorly) to Portgas D. Trace.Then,the Viz's manga translatiuon is Portgaz D. Ace.I am officially stumped on how you get 3-4 different names out of a character.

Oh,and LAWL on how Viz handled "Okama Way"-but it seems their going with,"Oh Come My Way" a replacement for "Okama"But still,it was actually pretty good.
 
With "Oh Come My Way" it does sound similar try saying that 7 time fast, it almost like saying Jesus name in the dub G. Zass. With his new phrase,does it seem like VIZ is going to tip-toe around Mr. 2 sexual preferences jokes that are made, or were they anymore after these chapters?
 
Just got it in and it looks like three new One Piece chapters as well as some game coverage, brain benders, and mention on the 'in this issue' page. Also, Luffy's on the cover. I'll update as I chew through it.
